Could be that the custody battle for Dannielynn will be narrowed down today as the world awaits the DNA test results.

TMZ.com is reporting that Howard Stern -- who has steadfastly claimed to be the child's father -- says he will step out of the way if it turns out Larry Berkhead is the Daddy.

But he will not step out of her life, he says, as he loves and adores her and wants to be able to continue to be in her life.

Stern says his main concern is making sure that Vergie Arthur does not get her hands on the baby girl that Anna Nicole Smith left behind. Seems as if Birkhead and Stern are aligning on this effort, squeezing Vergie out of the picture.

The least sympathetic character in this whole scenerio is Vergie. Probably because Anna Nicole left behind some pretty clear evidence that she did not want her mom anywhere near her baby girl.

Stern has taken heat and been accused of being beast, an enabler, a user, a man after the money that may come to Dannielynn some day. But he was there for Anna Nicole -- for better or for worse -- and has seemed to try to protect her baby. There's a good chance he's gotten a bum rap.

Larry Birkhead has become a rock start out of all this. Will he be a good dad, if he is the Dad? My friend Shelley Ackerman, columnist and celebrity astrologer, says Stern is the best baby Daddy as he is tenancious and protective.

Perhaps Birkhead and Stern can co-parent?

Let's hope baby Dannielynn gets the best of all her worlds, and that she can break the cycle of her mother and brother's legacy.
